If you want to keep up with your crossfit routine, Fitness Adventures is organising training sessions by a wonderful secluded beach providing you with all the amenities you might need such as fruit water and lunch and carrying you the designated training place and back.

Jungle tours

One of the attractions unique to Cancun are its tropical jungles. Book a tour and swim in the Cenotes or dive underwater and explore the massive Dos Ojos cave system. Hiking and cycling are always a good idea as the paths and routes around the area are of magnificent natural beauty and well worth the mosquito bites if you plan on exploring them during your holidays in Cancun. Hike around the spectacular and vast Chichen Itza ruins or climb the pyramids in Coba for an experience that will hardly be forgotten.

Golfing

If golfing is your thing then prepare to be blown away as the stunning settings of Cancun meet some of the best courses Mexico has to offer. Pack your clubs and get ready for a full day of golfing under the warm Mexican sun. In case that you get tired, the on-site bars and restaurants will take good care of anything you might require to quench your thirst and hunger. The famous Iberostar Cancun Golf Club, situated next to the El Rey Mayan ruins is amongst the most serious contenders in the golf course game. The unique Pok-ta-Pok golf club, situated close to Mayan ruins as well and referring to a primitive ball game enjoyed by the Mayas along with the aforementioned are two of the most spectacular to name a few.
